*couldn’t care less*
This is the wayThe only things I don’t suppress are my my revolvers, shotguns and knives…
Same. They only ones I’ll shoot unsuppressed is one That’s not threaded…Yet.Suppressed is way worth it. It makes every shot more pleasant.
I don’t really ever shoot a rifle without a suppressor.
Now just wait a minute. The fact that it has been done incorrectly by many for a long time does not make it correct.![]()
Right on! If you want to get pissed at irritating language ambiguity, look up the ways “if not” is used. There seems to be no correct consensus, anywhere. Can totally change a sentence’s meaning. Gets me salty!Now just wait a minute. The fact that it has been done incorrectly by many for a long time does not make it correct.
IDGAF what new-age bullshit M.W. is spouting.
I don’t have a soul…I sleep fine at night.All right you maniacs. I ordered one and will probably buy another before the week is out. I hope you are all happy with yourselves!
Dude what!?!? That’s awesome! A Wolverine would be super cool. Jealous.The only things I don’t suppress are my my revolvers, shotguns and knives…View attachment 7806433
That is painful to read.Right on! If you want to get pissed at irritating language ambiguity, look up the ways “if not” is used. There seems to be no correct consensus, anywhere. Can totally change a sentence’s meaning. Gets me salty!
Here’s a fake paragraph I made with some crap that riles me up. Find the shit words/phrases! Some are real words that suck, others are actually not words!
“First, I poured the inflammable liquid all over my baby to protect him, if not to love him. Lighting up a fag, I was surprised when my baby ignited. Irregardless of my intent, a crispy critter was the result. I could care less.”

A piston rifle would be about the only way I’d want to shoot a gas gun left handed. Otherwise a tuned gas block can make a big difference. But you will have gas in your face regardless.Well, I have gone from having 0 suppressors to having two on order in the space of three days. Now I need to have an opinion on suppressing a gas gun as a left-handed shooter. (I'm sure it sucks)
Yeah, I was thinking either a piston or build a left-hand upper but that seems like such a pain in the tail the piston may be the better bet.A piston rifle would be about the only way I’d want to shoot a gas gun left handed.

Well, which 2 cans did you buy, and then we can give you better insight as to what we recommend. For the AR platform, it's hard to beat the Sandman-S as a do-all can. It's one of the least gassy (according to PEW Science), and one of the best sounding cans (deep tone), and it's rated for full-auto no barrel length restrictions, all the way up to .300 WinMag.Well, I have gone from having 0 suppressors to having two on order in the space of three days.

I went with a TBAC Dominus-SR and a TBAC 338 Ultra G2 SR. The latter will live on my bolt gun. The former was available at a local retailer and would allow me to use the SR mounts for everything.Well, which 2 cans did you buy, and then we can give you better insight as to what we recommend.

So if you're looking for a dedicated AR can, I'd go with the Sandman-S, and use the Dead Air KeyMount Brakes on them. That's the setup I run on all mine. Highly recommend it. It's the best mix of length, weight, and sound-suppression.I went with a TBAC Dominus-SR and a TBAC 338 Ultra G2 SR. The latter will live on my bolt gun.

SilencerCo JUST released a charging handle for that.Well, I have gone from having 0 suppressors to having two on order in the space of three days. Now I need to have an opinion on suppressing a gas gun as a left-handed shooter. (I'm sure it sucks)
Cool. Sadly, I also need to worry about the gas coming out the ejection port since due to a cruel twist of fate my face needs to be there.SilencerCo JUST released a charging handle for that.

SilencerCo Gas Defeating Charging Handle (GDCH)
The GDCH has a proprietary design that incorporates an O-ring seal to prevent gas from escaping from the most prominent point of egress.silencerco.com
You are probably right, the other wrinkle is the gas guns I own don't have adjustable gas blocks (LMT/KAC) and while I could change out the blocks that seems like heresy, or at least a pain in the tail and a good way to harm resale value.My thought was if you eliminate gas from charging handle and tune it with an adjustable gas block that it should be serviceable. But alas, I’m not wrong handed.
My poi moves about 2”, the rifle is only shot suppressed and took I think 7 patches to have one come out clean and I rarely clean my barrel.My opinion is not a popular one. I think suppressors are worthless unless you run them with subs.
All cans I’ve used have a decent shift.
They make a decent maneuverable rifle into something long.
Extra cleaning required.
Extra tuning required.
With NV they do help a lot. But I’ve seen a lot that do worse on flash the many prong hiders.
Many of the guys I shoot with love em! And realize my concerns or dislikes aren’t always there concerns.
The biggest benefit is it’s just a more pleas t shooting experience. I’d rather deal with a shift that can be accounted for than be the only guy out of 7 on a line shooting unsuppressed. It’s downright miserable being close to guns these days with the brakes we all useMy opinion is not a popular one. I think suppressors are worthless unless you run them with subs.

We loved when people decided to sit right next to us and my buddy has his .50 out. It’s like urinals if they aren’t all taken leave a gap.When I go to public ranges I like to set up on the middle bench and shoot suppressed with my AI.
While everyone else runs their brakes. They get this warm comfy feeling shooting next to me. It’s great!!!!
Then while they’re finger fucking each other’s guns back by their trucks I take out my AR50A1 and let a 750 grain Amax clear their benches
Fuckin suck it you suppressorless bitches!!!!!!!
I then enjoy watching the range peasants pick up pieces of vortex scopes among the carnage of savage axis’s and Mossberg patriots that litter the ground
Ok I made part of that up. But them picking up pieces of broken vortex scopes is 100% true.
Suppressors on a bolt gun is a wonderful thing. Personally I shoot both suppressed and not on AR platforms. Either way requires ear pro. Hunting with a suppressed AR is nicer than not but you add length which can be a downfall. I don’t use ear pro while hunting
It’s ridiculous how quiet my 308 is with 180gr subs. Shooting steel is way more fun whenever it’s “pssh, CLANG!”Just had to chime in and say that I used to run the Fat Bastard on my 6.5-06 AI, but once I shot it suppressed, the brake came off. The suppressor makes a much better brake, and you don't get all the blast that the brake caused. It really makes for a much more pleasant day of shooting. I also still wear ear pro when shooting that gun, but man are they fun when you're shooting subsonic stuff!
I have two cans a Dead air SandmanL 30 cal. and a 338 thunder beast ultra and use them on all my rifles...but I dont go to ranges I shoot on ranches in south Florida.Unless running subsonics, shooting with suppressors can lead to hearing loss without additional protection.
If I am shooting suppressed, I will wear my MSA Sordin's. If shooting unsuppressed, I will also wear plugs under those muffs.
I find that shooting suppressed at a range is still worth it, however the benefits dwindle the closer you are to other shooters. But I much prefer my suppressed rifle over a braked one, even if I am next to other braked shooters (which sucks, especially when shooting in an area that's partially to fully enclosed).
Wrong answer. Correct answer - If your state doesn't allow suppressed, MOVE.If your state allows, buy a suppressor. It is definitely worth it, even while wearing ear protection.
I totally envisioned a bayonet attached under the suppressor when reading this.I’m going to go slightly against the grain. Suppressors make a short gun into a long gun, and a long gun into a pike.
+1000...
A day around braked guns like a match and I’m worn out and usually have a headache. I wear double ears most of the time.
